Vulnerability-Exploitation

🟠 High | Source: The Register — Security Researchers have demonstrated that freely available open source AI models are sufficient to build self-spreading computer worms capable of exploiting known vulnerabilities at scale across enterprise networks — no expensive or specialised AI tools required. The study shows attackers no longer need cutting-edge proprietary models to automate vulnerability exploitation, dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for large-scale attacks. This represents a meaningful shift in the threat landscape, where mass exploitation of known but unpatched vulnerabilities becomes significantly cheaper and faster to operationalise. ...
